Why I Work in DU Admission
The university’s mission is why I have chosen to work at Pվ��Ƶ. Pվ��Ƶ’s focus on the pursuit of truth, service to others, and working for the common good is inspiring. The entire Pվ��Ƶ community is dedicated to the success and support of our students.

Ultimately, our talented, hardworking, and caring students are examples of what makes Pվ��Ƶ so special.

Why I Work in DU Admission
The reason I choose to work at Pվ��Ƶ is because of the camaraderie and common goals of everyone on campus. The faculty and staff at Pվ��Ƶ inspires students to achieve those goals. I particularly like the great student to faculty ratio, as I feel this is very important in getting every student involved in the classroom with the hope of reaching their full potential. The “small community feel” that Pվ��Ƶ possesses makes it easy for me to speak and represent this exceptional school.

Hobbies/Interests
Traveling, coaching and watching soccer, and also researching odd facts and useless information. On a day off I enjoy spending time with my wife and our two boys, Camden and Lucas.

Why I work in DU Admission
I work at Pվ��Ƶ because, as a first-generation college student, I understand firsthand the challenges many students face when navigating higher education. I had to teach myself everything I know now, and I’m passionate about helping students who might be struggling in those same ways. Pվ��Ƶ provides a unique environment where students are given the opportunity to achieve social mobility, create intergenerational wealth, and drive positive change across multiple generations. It’s incredibly rewarding to be a part of an institution that offers so much potential for growth and transformation, not just for the students, but for their families and communities as well.

Hobbies/Interests
I enjoy experiencing Chicago all over again through a toddler's perspective, try new restaurants, and snuggle with my dogs, Hamilton and Roo.

Territory
In the Chicagoland area, specifically south and west side schools.
